taken from where the defunct “grass bank” used to be. its now a road to the staff car park, the older BHX spotter would remember this place well.

the day the a380 did two low approaches. this really highlights how bumpy BHX’s runway is.

took a trip to chester just to catch this. had to get the wide angle out.

cant for the life of me remember what aircraft this was. 40 second exposure very low ISO.

No, it was sarcasm. I’m a photographer as well as a screener, and besides, the smiley should have made my intent obvious. 😉

Do you have anything more enlightening to add or can we get back to the thread now?

i have to agree with PMN, it was sarcastic.

Yes, I haven’t posted much on here before but I always lurk on here to see the photos. I am familiar with sarcasm but that was big headed.

Sorry Dan….

KLMflyer… It’s called sarcasm. Evidently not a concept you’re familiar with. By the way, a comment like that on your second post? A little odd don’t you think?

Dan… Good answer! 😀

Brilliant shots there Dan. The Beluga shot and the long exposures are especially good. Great work mate.

Paul is it really necessary to drop the fact you’re a screener in there? It’s not really relevant in the thread.

Not bad at all, although my screeners eye is immediately distracted by the rather hefty dust spot appearing in one or two of them! 😀

your screen must be dirty 😉
